An improvised little party of sorts

[crimson_sugar]

Ever since they had to relocate, Sugar has been thoughtfully pondering on things that she could do for the community.  It seems to her that every time something joyful happens, she has nothing to do with it, and that every time trouble comes forth, someone is there for her and Sophie.

Therefore, a young red-head in her very late teens and an eight

Robb has managed to get out of his room likely with help from Belize, and for a restless boy it's a very good thing, and even better when he spies who is out on the lawn. Then he breaks into a true smile - even if it does stretch healing skin - and changes direction to go toward them, slightly patchy-furred wolf at his side.

"L - Sugar! Sophie!"

[crimson_sugar]

"Robb!" Sugar grins, and she makes a beckoning motion, stilling the game. "Come, oh, marvelous! I was hoping you would come!"

She really was, she did worry about him when she didn't see him around in the days that followed the fire.

Sophie is bouncing up and down, ridiculously.

Robb speeds his pace and goes over to sit down with them. "Of course - I would not miss a - party? - of yours for the world. I am glad to see you, and safe-" And his relief is evident - after the immediate fear for Angelique, he thought of Sophie and Sugar and was afraid.

Robb is going to get covered in happy Sophie! She effectively gives him an impetuous hug the moment he sits down.

"It's a picnic, Uncle Robb! Look, there's egg sandwiches, and cucumber sandwiches, and ham, and some cold potatoes, and..."

[eldeststark]

Hugged, and he hugs her back - she really isn't so much smaller than Bran. "I see, I see that, it all looks delicious."

[crimson_sugar]

Sugar colors, a little. "Oh, it's only a few things, salads and sandwiches, and things that they eat in America..."

[eldeststark]

"Nonetheless," fervently, "It looks delicious. Thank you for inviting me." He smiles at Sugar, almost hopefully. "May I ask for some?"

[crimson_sugar]

Sugar grins, and takes a plate, readying herself to serve him. "Of course. Just -- a little bit of every thing?"

[eldeststark]

A nod. "Yes, please - I'm afraid I'm a little ravenous. Thank you." He fidgets, a little, then blurts it out, "My father is here."

[sophie_darling]

"Oh?" Sophie looks up from the hug. "Are you happy?"

[eldeststark]

He keeps hugging her too, and says "Yes," then hesitates. "Well - I am happy. Yes, I'm happy to see him again."

[crimson_sugar]

Sugar looks at Robb intelligently, sees that there's something else, though, and makes a note to broach it when she can.

"It's good, love," she replies, smiling, and she hands him a lush plate of food.

[eldeststark]

He takes it, gladly, and might just set to with a bit of glee. "Thank you so much," he does say, though, "And I am - glad to see you both safe, as well."

[sophie_darling]

"Oh, we were very lucky," Sophie starts blabbing, and through her own mouthfuls of potato salad and cucumber sandwiches, she'll tell him the whole tale of how there was fire in her room and her Daddy saved her.

[eldeststark]

He nods along, looking more and more concerned. "You were so close to the fire, though - and not injured, both of you?" With a worried glance from one to the other.

"Caliban woke up early enough to get us out, yes," she replies with a small smile. "We are unscathed, it's almost miraculous."
